First, you will start today's adventure in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

When you enter Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the picturesque scenery along the way seems like a flowing landscape painting. 

Your first adventure is a thrilling ride on the Bailong Elevator, the world’s highest outdoor lift, which takes you swiftly up the cliffside while offering spectacular views of the surrounding sandstone formations. As you ascend, you’ll witness the incredible natural wonders that make Zhangjiajie a true marvel of nature.

At the top, you’ll explore the majestic Tianzi Mountain, known for its majestic peaks rising above a sea of clouds. The towering stone pillars and misty cliffs create a dreamlike scene, as if you’ve entered a celestial realm.

At the end of your journey to Zhangjiajie, your guide and driver will transfer you to Fenghuang's Old City, which is about 80 kilometres away from Zhangjiajie and takes about 1.5 hours by car.

Upon arrival at Furong Ancient Town, night has fallen and a unique  dinner experience is prepared for you. You can stroll to a restaurant  with a breathtaking view of the waterfall, where not only is the food  tantalising, but the natural beauty is an added bonus.

  • Breakfast


After breakfast, you embark on the best journey to explore this ancient town with more than 2,000 years of cultural heritage.

Fenghuang's Old City is best known for the Fenghuang Waterfall that runs through the centre of the town. Its sound is like a whisper, but its momentum is majestic, and the Tujia Fishing Mansions standing between the cliffs above the waterfall are a perfect match, constituting a stirring natural and humanistic picture.

Then, you will stroll on the stone road of Wuli Street, every step seems to step into the long river of history, the ancient houses on both sides and the shops lined on both sides of the street, bringing an ancient and peaceful. You will also visit the Folklore Museum, which displays primitive machines, daily necessities and tools, each of which carries the crystallisation of the Tujia people's hard work and wisdom, and silently tells the story of this nation's long and rich history.

Next, you will go to Xizhou Bronze Pillar, where you can listen to the legendary stories about the past Tusi king and feel the shock and emotion of travelling through time and space.

In the evening, we will also end our visit in Furong Ancient Town and drive back to Zhangjiajie. As we escort you to the airport or railway station, may the wonderful memories of this journey accompany you to your next destination and continue to write your own wonderful chapter.

Honestly, I had a mix of nerves and excitement before this trip. My friends back in Mumbai thought I was crazy – "China? Really?" But I'd been staring at photos of those floating Avatar mountains for years, and I just had to see them for myself. So I booked the Zhangjiajie + Furong Ancient Town package through IntoExplore, and wow, I'm so glad I did.

Very helpful “Into Explore”
I first came across Into Explore while browsing travel reels about China on social media, and their content really stood out. I reached out with a few questions and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly Norman got back to me. To be honest, I was a bit cautious in the beginning—booking something like this online always comes with some uncertainty—but after several conversations and reviewing the proposed itinerary, I felt comfortable proceeding and placed an initial deposit. We traveled as a family, and from start to finish, the experience was incredibly smooth. Norman was flexible, patient, and always accommodating whenever we needed adjustments. Communication was consistent and reliable, which made a big difference. Once we landed in China, everything was handled flawlessly. The planning, coordination, and daily flow of activities were all executed with great attention to detail. We always knew what to expect the next day, which made the entire trip feel effortless and well-managed. Overall, it turned out to be a fantastic experience. I would confidently recommend Into Explore—and Norman in particular—to anyone considering a trip to China.

Very helpful “Into Explore”
I rarely write reviews, but this time I’d like to share my overwhelmingly positive thoughts about this trip. From the day I contacted this company, they have been very attentive and friendly. They did a great job planning my family holiday and supported us every step of the way. They put together a 14-day private tour for us, taking into account all our requests and requirements.In every city we visited, there was a reliable driver, a very nice car, and a guide to assist us throughout the day. I was initially anxious about traveling in a country where people don’t speak much English, but the guides made everything effortlessly convenient, including helping us choose food in local restaurants without English menus.I could go on describing all the wonderful things we saw in China, but to keep it short, I would simply encourage prospective customers to set aside any doubts and trust this company with their holiday planning. Thank you, guys!

Fast respond, helpful
Independent travel by train in China can be daunting ordeal. We decided to use Intoexplore for booking the trip and are very happy we did. It almost felt like Norman was a family member guiding us through how to use Alipay for payments in China to where to find the ticket office in the train station to convert digital tickets to paper. He was always available (sometimes at 6 am!) to answer any question and solve any problems that arose .. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about independent travel to China .
